Procedure(For individuals wanting their name added to the list of Care Providers)

Care Providers will come into the office and complete a Care Provider Registry Application in its entirety. Incomplete applications will not be accepted. Care Providers must read a copy of these policies and procedures before completing an application

Care Providers must give SCDOA permission to perform a local criminal check in order to be on the list. Your application will not be added to the list if your criminal check results in the following:

If one or more felonies appear on your criminal check.

If a misdemeanor charge is less than ten years old.

If a misdemeanor charge is ten years and older, we will add to the list; however, the record will be available upon request to persons interested in hiring you.

The name, city, phone number(s), and work preferences are added to the Care Provider list. Applications are kept in a binder in the Information and Referral Specialists office.

A new list is printed once per quarter, and as caregivers ask for copies, it is printed and given out by request.

If a complaint is made by someone who has hired someone from the list, the Care Provider will be removed from the list immediately.

The Care Provider that is being removed will be contacted by letter stating they have been removed from the list. Names and complaints will be not given out to anyone under any circumstance.

SCDOA has no part in the relationship between caregiver, family member and/or the Care Provider.

Care Providers should not call to see if their names are still on the list. The list will be updated once yearly and they will be notified. Call for changes only.

Important Note: All information (Applications and Criminal Check Forms) must completed in its entirety. SCDOA will not take the time to call you to find out missing information. If your application packet is missing information, your application will be filed inactive and not included in the list.

A copy of the Care Provider Registry may be picked up, mailed, or emailed to interested persons at no cost. No faxed copies.

We strongly advise that Care Recipients check the references and former employers of all applicants. That information will be given out by request.

If Care Recipients have a complaint, it must be submitted in writing to Sampson County Department of Aging. This information will not be shared with anyone, including the person the complaint is regarding.
